Harry Kane reveals his excitement to play at Celtic Park for the first time, while Borna Barisic credits Luka Modric for helping him secure a move to Spanish club Leganes.
Harry Kane has expressed his excitement about fulfilling a lifelong ambition by playing at Celtic Park in next week's Champions League encounter. The English star will lead Bayern Munich against the Scottish champions in the first leg of the playoffs, with the return leg scheduled in Bavaria later this month.
Kane showcased his prowess by scoring two penalties as Bayern secured a comfortable 3-0 victory against Werder Bremen, who substituted former Scotland international Oliver Burke for the final three minutes. This impressive feat extended Kane's remarkable streak of 29 consecutive penalty conversions for both club and country, solidifying Bayern's position at the top of the Bundesliga.However, the celebrated striker emphasized his eagerness to experience the electric atmosphere of a European night at Parkhead. He stated, 'I've never played at Celtic Park, but I've heard a lot about the incredible atmosphere. It will be a challenging game for us. I'm on a good run with scoring penalties. But a miss can happen - it's happened before. I have various options that I can use when I am taking a penalty.' Kane, while acknowledging the legendary status of Parkhead, was reluctant to discuss the details of a previously uncovered exit clause in his contract that would have allowed him to depart for £75 million during the last transfer window. He firmly stated, 'I don't want to talk about that. What I can say is that I am very happy at Bayern.'The closest Kane came to playing at Parkhead was during a friendly match between Scotland and England in 2014, where he witnessed a 3-1 defeat for his national team. He earned his first of 103 England caps the following year. In other transfer news, Rangers player Borna Barisic revealed that his compatriot and Real Madrid superstar Luka Modric played a crucial role in securing him a move to La Liga. The Croatian international recently concluded his unsatisfactory spell at Trabzonspor and joined Leganes on loan, accompanied by former Aberdeen striker Duk. The 32-year-old Barisic expressed his delight at finally having the opportunity to play in Spain's top league at this stage of his career, following a conversation with Modric, who will celebrate his 40th birthday this year. Barisic shared, 'I didn't perform as well as I expected at Trabzonspor, so this is a nice opportunity for me. I spoke with Luka Modric for advice. And he has helped me settle in at the club. I'm delighted to be in Spain and in this league. It was an easy decision to come here. 'It happened on the last day of the transfer window, but when I spoke to the club officials I saw that they wanted me. I wanted to come to a quality La Liga team and the club seems like a family to me where everyone knows each other. I came here because I feel I can play at this level. I'm ready to help the team. I can't wait to play for the club.
